Felines

The felines are new to this strange world, coming from the far away land of Ailur. The people of Ailur are relatively uncivilized, with most people besides nobility being nomadic and uneducated. In Ailur, young felines are only considered adults after they single handedly slay a creeper. The only other species the Feline commonly encounter are the Merlings, who they are bitter enemies with. Recently, a small group of Felines composed of an academic, shaman, and others have been funded by the Ailurian government to start a colony in the uncharted jungles of Shrewland. The settlers set up a small encampment in the jungle next to a nearby desert, where they encounter new, strange people, tall men with long arms, ghosts running through walls, but worst of all, their old enemies, the Merlings. The settlers retreat deeper into the jungle, where they start gathering resources, taking advantage of the area's large cave systems to gather underground minerals. They settle down, founding Sharester (named after a member of their pantheon). Now far away from their people, the members of Sharester prepare to expand their power, whether through diplomacy, or conquest.

Origin Myth
Tezca created the earth to be empty and beautiful with nothing but plants, mountains and the vast sky. Freja saw this empty world and looked down on it with all of it’s wasted potential and began to fill this world with creatures. Sharess noticed this work and began sowing violence in the creatures of the world, having some animals kill others for food. Freja saw this and was horrified and clutched the souls of these creatures in her arms and brought them to the sky to be with Tezca and each soul became a star in the sky. After guiding these souls to their new home she confronted Sharess. After arguing for a time they reached an agreement to grant sentience to some of their feline creations and grant them free will, the potential for both violence or peace. These were the people of Ailur and they adopted both philosophies to honor their creators and revered Tezca for protecting their dead.
